John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
“Yesu kawagambira, yoseri yakingira ndiri mulizizi lya kondolu kwa kupitira mlyangu, ira mulupenu na kwingira kwa njira yimonga, ayu ndo mwivi na mkwepula.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Muntu yakingira kwa kupitira pamulyangu, ayu ndo mweni mlolera gwa kondolu.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Mlolera mlyangu kamvugulira yomberi, kondolu wapikinira liziwu lyakuwi, nayomberi kawashema kondolu wakuwi kila yumu litawu lyakuwi na kuwalonguziya kunja.
4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Pakawalavia kunja kawalongulera palongolu, nawomberi kondolu wamfata, kwani walimana liziwu lyakuwi.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Kondolu awa hapeni wawezi kumfata muntu gwingi, ira watuga toziya walimana ndiri liziwu lyakuwi.”
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Yesu kawagambiriti mfanu agu, kumbiti womberi wavimana ndiri shakafiriti kuwagambira.
7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Su, Yesu katakula kayi, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, neni ndo mlyangu gwa kondolu.
8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Wamonga woseri walii wiziti pamberi pa neni ndo wivi na wakwepula, kumbiti kondolu wawapikinira ndiri.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
Neni ndo mlyangu. Yakingira kupitira neni hakalopoziwi, hakingiri na kulawa na hakapati maliziwu.
10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
Mwivi kizaga su kiwi na kalagi na kahalabisiyi. Neni niza mpati kuwera na ukomu, ukomu ukamilika.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
“Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Mlolera muheri kalaviyaga ukomu wakuwi kwa kondolu wakuwi.
12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
Muntu gwa shibenamgongu, yomberi mlolera ndiri na wala kondolu wakuwi ndiri, pakamuwona liminyi kankwiza, kaleka kondolu na kutuga, liminyi kawabata wakondolu na kuwapalasiyanga.
13 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Muntu gwa shibenamgongu katuga toziya yomberi gwa shibenamgongu hera, hapeni kawaloleri wakondolu.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
Neni ndo mlolera muheri. Nuwamana wakondolu wangu nawomberi wamana neni,
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
gambira Tati ntambu yakamana neni, naneni ntambu yanummana Tati. Neni ndaviya ukomu wangu kwajili ya womberi.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
Nana wakondolu wamonga yawaweriti ndiri mulizizi ali. Inazimu kuwajega viraa, womberi hawalipikiniri liziwu lya neni, na hakuweri shipinga shimu na mlolera yumu.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
“Tati kanfira neni toziya ndaviya ukomu wangu, su mpati kuwuwanka kayi.
18 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
Kwahera muntu yakampoka ukomu wangu, neni nuwulaviya mweni. Nana uwezu wa kuwulaviya na kuwutola kayi. Hangu ndo Tati kandagaliriti ntendi.”
19 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
Kuwera kayi na malekaniru pakati pa Wayawudi toziya ya visoweru avi.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Wantu wavuwa watakuliti, “Kana shamshera, kayi kanalukwali! Gwa shishi kumpikinira?”
21 Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
Wamonga walonga, “Shisoweru ashi sha muntu kana shamshera ndiri. Hashi, shamshera kaweza ashi kuponiziya muntu kana lwisi?”
22 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: it was winter;
Aku Yerusalemu kuweriti na msambu gwa kumlavilira Mlungu Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, shipindi ashi shiweriti sha mpepu.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
Yesu kaweriti kankugendagenda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pahala wapashemiti Mdamu gwa Selemani.
24 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
Su, Wayawudi wamzyengeta Yesu, wamkosiya, “Hagutuleki pota na nakaka mpaka ndii? Gutugambiri nakaka pota kufifa, Hashi, gwenga ndo Kristu?”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
Yesu kawankula, “Nuwagambireni kala, kumbiti mnjimira ndiri. Lihengu lyantenda neni kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu wakuntakuziya.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
Kumbiti mwenga mnjimira ndiri toziya mwenga mwa kondolu wa neni ndiri.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Wakondolu wangu wapikinira liziwu lyangu, neni nuwamana, nawomberi wanfati.
29 My Father, which hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
Tati gwangu ndo mweni yakanupiti hawa nayomberi ndo mkulu kuliku woseri. Kwahera yakaweza kuwawusiya mmawoku mwakuwi.
30 I and the Father are one.
Neni na Tati, twayumu.”
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Su, Wayawudi watola mabuwi wamgumi.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwalanguziyeni mahengu gavuwa kulawa kwa Tati. Nuwatendera shishi shamfira kung'uma na mabuwi?”
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Wayawudi wamwankula, “Hapeni tukugumi kwajili ya matendu maheri, kumbiti kwa kumwigilanga Mlungu! Gwenga ndo muntu hera kumbiti mweni gwenga gulitenda kuwera Mlungu.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Yesu kawankula, “Walembiti Mumalagaliru genu, Neni nonga, ‘mwenga ndo milungu?’
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
Mlungu kawashemiti milungu walii wawapanana ujumbi wakuwi, natwenga tuvimana handa Malembu Mananagala gatakula nakaka mashaka goseri.
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
Kumbiti neni, Tati ndo kansyaguliti na kantumiti pasipanu. Iwera ashi mung'ambira neni nigilanga toziya ntakuliti ‘Neni Namwana gwa Mlungu?’
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Namunjimira neni, pamwona ntenda ndiri vitwatira vya Tati gwangu.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
Kumbiti pantenda vitwatira avi, ata pamunjimira ndiri neni, muvijimiri ata vitwatira vyantenda, su mpati kuvimana nakaka kulonga Tati ka mngati mwangu na neni namngati mwa Tati.”
39 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
Wajeriti kayi kumbata Yesu kumbiti kawukiti pakati pawu.
40 And he went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
Yesu kagenda kayi kumwambu ku lushemba Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakaweriti kankubatiza, kalikaliti aku.
41 And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti pawalonga, “Yohani katenda ndiri liuzauza lyoseri, ira goseri Yohani gakatakuliti kuusu muntu ayu ndo nakaka.”
42 And many believed on him there.
Na wantu wavuwa pahala palii wamjimira.
